By Anne Durrell

If you are interested in taking charge of your own investments, then you need an online stock broker.

The advantage is that the fees are very reasonable so you will make more money on your investment because you will spend less of it on fees.

TD Waterhouse, Scott Trade and Etrade are examples of reliable online stock broker you can choose. They may have different fees, so you better shop around first and find out which offers the best deals for you.

Find the broker that won't charge you for having less than a minimum balance if you want to invest with a small amount of money to start.

You need to look carefully at the core competencies of the companies whose stocks you are interested in so you can be sure to pick ones that will pay off for you.

If you plan to buy stocks for the long term, then you will be fine. It's very important for everyone who want to start doing investments on stock market to always plan in the long term.

When you are doing stock trading online, it is important to not panic and sell at loss when you see the stock goes down, cause even solid companies will have their ups and downs, but if they have a strong competencies, then they will usually will recover and their value will return.

Hopefully this will not happen, but unlike putting it in the bank, your money is at risk and you could lose it. Investors who put a big chunk of their retirement into American automaker stock can tell you all about that possible outcome.

So never invest the money into stock market if you are going to be needed to pay your morgage the next month. If you take out all your money and invest them all into the market, you will certainly lost out.
